How many can you get? I got 29 out of 33 http://www.threematchban.com/quiz/gj

I tell you something if Qatar can host a WC Scotland can. It's a disgrace. Scotland can't host a world cup because they dont meet the criteria....that being the financial ability to buy off fifa and the actual finance to put the tournament on. It's all about making money for fifa and they will give the tournament to the country who they will make the most from, legally or illegally. Not legally mate, not legally. It was an accepted fact that England's bid was by far the most economically viable, and profitable. Yeah fifa probably accept that but then ask themsleves "well whats in it for us?" which is where we fall down by being pretty straight and principled. Thats why I couldnt get too upset about the MPs expenses "scandal" last year....we have the straightest public figures on the planet, regardless of the monor ways in which they step out of line.

Why would the kickback hungry and profiteering members of the fifa executive comittee want a World Cup held in a country that already has all its stadiums built? They can also play the "first time in Eastern Europe" card They also get to meet the future King of the United Kingdom, have their and their wives photo's taken with him,shake him by the hand and look him in the eye, and then blatantly lie to him. And to David Beckham. But he's a cock sucking coroporate whore who deserves everything he gets

Will Andy Carroll be too old for Qatar 2022?...there must be lads in youth teams everywhere getting the factor gooosefat out as we speak. If you're at the peak of your career around then you're going to be well chuffed with the global stage for you to display your talents turning out to be a fuckin desert in the middle of nowhere with playing temperatures of around 40 degrees...and Blatter and his corrupt fuckin henchmen are likely to be dead by then

I think the profit in South Africa for fifa was about 300 million quid, as you say, tax free all hail Sepp's happy "football family"

its only one....unless Jeff Thomson voted for Holland/Belgium would the other one be the yanks? and whoever mentioned Linekers flounce after the Mail fitted up Wiseman and asked whether hes going to leave MOTD made a very good point

naah...Italia 90 heres Fanny Batter now...what a cunt

I don't believe that. There'll be toys out of this pram if we don't get it, this is bigger than the Olympics. Just going on what 5live were saying like. We're by far the best bid but thats irrelevent really. Its politics thats decides it, not ability to dleiver a top class tournament. It'll be intersesting to see the African teams' reception in Moscow or Madrid if they are succcessful. There are still dozens of match going morons in this country but at least theyve been shamed into silence. Not so everywhere though

Sepp Blatters powerbase at fifa are the countries of the devloping world....he's got to keep them happy to keep the gig. But he has to balance that with making a shedload of money.Which is where we (and Qatar) come in. But the Spanish/Portuguese bid has 12 votes in the bag apparently, which is the compromise between us and Russia, and it looks like even fifa cant face handidng their showpeice event to the mafia.

Pitch invasion at St Andrews apparently after Brum got a late winner v Villa.....looks like they fired a couple of flares into the Villa section

That pub in Byker with the old dude playing the spoons (Leazes?) looked like the Black Garter on match days

Kevin and the lads get excited about the new pup's arrival

Some piccies from my folks place up in the Cheviots at the weekend dug the car out Sunday morning though...bit slippy around Berwick but made it in good time

I think Gibbo is a bit like Kenwright at Everton.....they know that the type of fan who will turn up week in week out regardless of what they're being served up wont have a word said against them because "they're fans too"....it gives them just enough backing and makes them reasonably happy to stay in charge because, well, they're in charge Don't know if Gibbo would sell,don't know who'd want them, but Kenwright wouldnt in a million years though. He gets asked every year at the Everton agm what price he'd accept and always ignores the question Gibbo tried to go with Southgate and the kids that came through the youth team, which was admirable in a way. Probably thought a season or two in divi 2 would see them ok. Didnt work, enter Strachan who was a fuckin disaster. Difficult to tell what'll happen now. Thought they looked good against us at their place last season. The Aussie up front and Barry Robson ran the show I thought.

Arsenal used to be one of the more reasonably priced London clubs. Certainly at Highbury anyway. They certainly were.....I remember 14 quid maybe 10 years ago? Thing is about all this "ooh Arsenal haven't won a trophy for 5 years" bollocks in the media, what really gets on their fan's tits isnt the lack of siverware as such its the fuckin price to watch a team thats miles away from winning the title even this season. In saying that, Wenger's done well to keep them in the champs lge places whilst theyve built, moved to and started to pay for a brand new ground.

ok...how can you compare a no doubt very good player who sadly didnt complete a season for us with Pedro who played 276 times for us and scored 108 goals? You appear to indulging in one upmanship of the stupidest (and dare I say most childish) kind just because you're old enough to have seen him play. Comparing players from different eras is pretty pointless at the best of times but this is fuckin ridiculous. And no, I'm not obsessed with you

Hooray. Sense at last If anyone thinks this season was going to be anything but up and down at the very best then they're on another planet. 5-1

Fuck off man it's Blackpool away Easter weekend

Prince Harry is fuming about the upcoming royal wedding.....apparently it's family only

Henderson has carried his form from that game over to this one

aye, and this was number one for the whole summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WhhSBgd3KI Not a huge fan of the royals, but William at least appears to be down to earth and without the social awkwardness of his fuckin old man Don't fancy a republic if when we vote for who is to be President all we have to chose is between some bastard washed up politician or Steven Redgrave.... rather go with the Scots-Germans tbh.

So fucking what? It cost me £47 to see Spurs beat us 1-0 in our relegation season at White Hart Lane. It's supposed to be your best team for 50 years, either way less than 1000 is very very poor. We took much more than that for a mid week carling cup game! Anyway lets not go down this road, good result but the biggest shock was how poor they were - not how good you were. We were fucking awesome! Every one else in the country has acknowledged that we were superb and made them look shite. No other team will do that to them for a very very long time.And as for the Carling Cup, tickets were £20 Do you think you'd have done it without Cattatwat,Gyan and Bramble?.....you won because their 3 best players didnt play. It was a good win all the same, now fuck off back under your stone.

Difficult to chose between Bleach and Nevermind....both fantastic for different reasons. Was lucky to see them at the long gone Calton Studios in Edinburgh in 91.....500 capacity venue for a band that had had "smells like teen spirit" played every 10 minutes on MTV for the previous 3 months....there was a near riot outside, fuckin dangerous getting in. Then saw them at Reading in 92, just as good
